The punting style of Michael Andretti comes to mind here.

NaScArNuT they penalized Bodine because he's Busch League ! The Intimidator
is the 7 time champ who does'nt win much anymore so they let it slide .
Example's Basketball: Jordan can foul a guy till he bleed's - no call
Baseball : Nolan Ryan can uppercut a guy 5 times & bust his lip - the guy
with the fat lip get's thrown out Nolan stay's in the game . The point to
the story is Nascar loves his ASS !!!!! :)

I like Dale too, but I'm not a big fan of 'do whatever it takes'.
Actually, most of this 'rubbin' pales in comparison to Touring cars...

Yeah, I just saw the replay on Nascar Today. You may be right. If Terry
hadn't been there, Dale may have pushed up into the wall...

Petty and Pearson - Daytona(or was it Talladega?) 1976 - Pearson won
Yarborough and Allison - Daytona - NEITHER won.

Two EXCITING finishes out of many...

Which is the same point Phil Parsons brought up tonight in his interview - the
drivers aren't happy about the 'double-standard'.

Didn't Marcis have a flat? Like, you can't do THAT on purpose...

It is the same almost everywhere in American Sports. Do you think a Rookie
would get a charging call against Micheal Jordan even if he was firmly
established?
Sports honcho's learned a long time ago, most (uh oh, generalized statement
coming) We Americans don't show up to watch a football game or auto race, we show
to see our stars race....

...except touring cars do it much slower with nice run off areas (usually).
You probably do see more paint swapping in the BTCC, but it never makes me
wince like it does with the NASCAR guys...

For me the reason why I hated his move so much was that Terry had the better
car. The ONLY way DE was going to win that race was to crash him, and that
just goes against everyting that sport should be about. I am also
dissappointed with NASCAR. They should let the win stand, but strip him of
all points and money won. This way that finish will have a larger impact on
the points, which it needs because DJ is running away with the show. (Of
course with the current point system it still won't make a big dent).
Of course NASCAR would never do anything to tarnish the image of DE, so they
will remain quiet. This brings up another point. With Darrell Waltrip
retiring, Ricky Rudd not far behind, and DE some time after that, where
does NASCAR get it's new personalities. I really like Steve Park, but he is
no Darrell Waltrip. NASCAR in the next five years is going to lose all of it
major stars, with no replacements in sight. (Yeah I know we get to keep
GameBoy Gordon, but after him the list is short.) So I agree that it was
favoritism, but they have to build this sport up for the coming lean times.

Are you a comedian now?
We'll have Little E., but besides that, you're right. There's not much of a
list, but then again, is there one now?

frisbees than use them as an operating system

Hi Adrial

You got a beta of Win2000? Based on what I've read on it, it seems that
this one will be even more of a resource-hog than Win98 was. I never
upgraded (?) to that. I've kept the OSR2.1 Win95 around just for my
***. Here's hoping for a GPL Linux port! Hell, while we're hoping,
N3 and Cart2 for Linux!! The only crashin' I want done is due to my own
driving, not my OS!!!

Cheers
